Pick swap trade offer advice
I've been offered the first pick of the 3rd round (likely 21 overall) for my 2 4th round picks ( both likely after pick 35).
I'm leaning towards holding onto my picks because it's a bit of a crapshoot at that point and better to have more swings right?
I only have 3 picks in this draft when I started with 4.

Re: Pick swap trade offer advice
I generally agree with this, however that top 15 number stretches out a bit if there are leftover "prospects" worth having that weren't drafted and have come out of nowhere, but also aren't available to grab in FA due to whatever reason.Originally Posted by chuckcouples
I'd think the 4th round picks should be after 40 in a 10 team league, but perhaps some teams won't draft that deep.

I can certainly see the argument for having two kicks at the dog rather than one. However, I'm inclined to have the highest pick possible to have the best shot at getting a kick at the dog I really want and consider to be the best player available at that point in the draft. It's a quality rather than a quantity kinda thing. Let's face it, in a Dynasty after the top prospects are gone, usually around 15, then the pickings are getting slimer and slimer.

Re: Pick swap trade offer advice
I can definitely understand your perspective. Having the highest pick possible does give you a great shot at getting the best player available, and that's definitely an attractive option. But having two picks can also give you a chance to get two quality players instead of just one, and that can really increase your chances of having a great dynasty team. It's a tough decision, but it really comes down to what you think is best for your team and your strategy. Good luck with your draft!
